//! Utility to normalize identifiers.
/// Normalize an identifier, as found in [references][label_end] and
/// [definitions][definition], so it can be compared when matching.
///
/// This collapsed whitespace found in markdown (`\t`, `\r`, `\n`, and ` `)
/// into one space, trims it (as in, dropping the first and last space),
/// and then performs unicode case folding twice: first by uppercasing
/// lowercase characters, and then lowercasing uppercase characters.
///
/// Some characters are considered “uppercase”, such as U+03F4 (`ϴ`), but if
/// their lowercase counterpart (U+03B8 (`θ`)) is uppercased will result in a
/// different uppercase character (U+0398 (`Θ`)).
/// Hence, to get that form, we perform both upper- and lowercase.
///
/// ## Examples
///
/// ```rust ignore
/// micromark::util::normalize_identifier::normalize_identifier;
///
/// assert_eq!(normalize_identifier(" a "), "a");
/// assert_eq!(normalize_identifier("a\t\r\nb"), "a b");
/// assert_eq!(normalize_identifier("ПРИВЕТ"), "привет");
/// assert_eq!(normalize_identifier("Привет"), "привет");
/// assert_eq!(normalize_identifier("привет"), "привет");
/// ```

// Hence, to get that form, we perform both lower- and uppercase.
// Performing these steps in that order works, but the inverse does not
// work.
// To illustrate, say the source markdown containes two identifiers `SS`
// (U+0053 U+0053) and `ẞ` (U+1E9E), which would be lowercased to `ss`
// (U+0073 U+0073) and `ß` (U+00DF), and those in turn would both uppercase
// to `SS` (U+0053 U+0053).
// If we’d inverse the steps, for `ẞ`, we’d first uppercase without a
// change, and then lowercase to `ß`, which would not match `ss`.
